Recommended Posts

:tt2:HI,

I finally have restriction at 7, but I am starting to be able to eat more already! Ahh! Just keep getting your fills. You will start to see restriction!

I have a 10cc band and right now I'm at about 6ccs. I lost like crazy after my first fill and then it kinda dropped off. When I went in for a second fill we found out that my port had flipped so I couldn't get filled. I was able to get some more in during my port revision surgery but still don't have restriction. NONE AT ALL...I am hungry 24/7 if it weren't for knowing how hard I had to work to get this band in I probably would have gained at least 20 pounds already. I am awaiting a second port revision (that bleeping thing flipped again) hopefully after that I will get back on track.

I have 3cc's in a 10cc band (1 fill). No restriction at all - can eat anything. Still managing to slowly lose weight (good thing) but definitely anxious to feel restriction. I have a second fill scheduled for next week (April 22). Hopefully it will restyrict me some. I go monthly to surgeons office for fills/see nutritionist.

Hi all,

I have a 10cc band with 5cc's in it. I went a week ago to have another fill (1more cc) and I think it closed. I PBed and slimmed for 3 days, even Water was hard to get down.

I went back on Thursday and he took out about 1/2 cc and I'm fine. I have restrictions but somedays are better than others. I mean somedays I can eat almost anythign and others almost nothing without PB/slimming.

Just got my 4th fill today added 1cc now I have 4.5cc in the VG 10cc band,I think this might do it if not maybe one more.After the fill I had to drink Water it was slow going down and I could hear the gurgle so I hope this one does it.

hey guys and gals, long time since i checked in but I have a 10 cc band and have had 6 fills and am at 5.5 cc. i felt noticeable restriction last fill and this fill seems to be the ticket. i did not lose or gain on the previous fills but i lost 5 pounds with my last fill. i was somewhat discouraged, but at least i wasn't gaining weight!!! I was banded 3/5/08 and my docs office will only do .5cc every 4-6 weeks so it has been shear willpower. but now i am here i can appreciate the time to really hone my chewing habits, my slow approch to eating, and eating more often so i don't become ravenous and overeat which prodeces pain and well you can guess the rest. so hang in there, it does happen, and it allows us time to change old bad habits. g2s

Hey yall

I have a 10cc band and after i my first fill i had a total of 5 cc's (1 cc was put in when i originally had surgery). I had like no restriction at all. I could eat anything. Lisa i felt the same way. Sometimes happy to pb just to remind i have a band in me. But my 2nd fill she put in 2 more cc's. But it was too tight. So she toke some out and now i have 6 cc's. Im a little nervous becouse im not at sweet spot at all. I dont get hungry as fast but i can eat alot of food. Im hoping my third fill will work.

I started at 275 and now (2 and a half months later) im 245 (give or take a pound or two) I need to work out more thats for sure.:)

I have a 10 cc Lapband and I had my 3rd fill bringing me up to 5.9 cc's. I was able to keep liquids and mushies down but solids were a challenge and i was coughing up at night. I couldn't get past 700 calories a day sometimes 500. But truly I couldn't eat more than that half cup. Anyway I had .3 cc's removed I don't konw what i feel yet today I ate quite a bit (1500 calories).

banded 1-18-08, lost 70 lbs and I have 8.8cc in my band. I actually had a fill dec 1,09 of .4cc this was done under the fluoro so he could make sure no stretched pouch and to get the downward release good. So he went tighter to see the flow stop and back up and then he removed a tad. need measured .4 fill. so I a good for another 6 months most likly. This was the first fill since Aug 09. I will try and go 6 months this time. Usually my restriction would strat to lessen after about 7 weeks.

Lisa you look great, WOO HOO! you should be very proud of your self..Sometimes I have to stop and look in ther mirror to make sure it is me that I am looking at.. I am only 5.2 so I need to be around 135, that is ten more to go. More cardio..

Lisa, looks like you've had fantastic results. Your pics are super inspiring. It's unbelievable to think you were only banded this past spring. Way to go!!!! Thanks for the post. I, too, have a 10 cc band. I've only had one fill with another one scheduled in early January. Not feeling any restriction at 2.5 cc. Hopefully fill #2 will do the trick.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
